Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Petronela je slovenskou podobou latinského mena Petronilla, ženského mena utvoreného zdrobňujúcou príponou od rímskeho rodového mena Petronius. Neskoršie spájanie mena so svätým Petrom a gréckym slovom petros (skala) vzniklo v kresťanskej tradícii ľudovou etymológiou a nepokladá sa za jeho pôvodný výklad.
